McLean's Scene

Those early Prestige sessions of Jackie McLean are quite interesting, though they still sound a bit "rough". I remember when I bought this album I couldn´t believe the man on the coverfoto is Jackie, I wouldn´t have recognized him.

There are still a lot of standards and ballads on those albums. I think one track is called "Outburst" and it´s an ultra fast improvised line of the "Salt Peanuts" changes.

Anthony Braxton - Sextet (Istanbul) 1996 [New Braxton House]

following a startlingly good Zim Music performance at Oto on wednesday. This Ghost Trance Music sounds not very like Zim Music really but it's the nearest I could get

One of my favorite pre-BN records is A Long Tall Drink Of The Blues, especially where the musicians heatedly discuss the rhythm. 4,5,6 is another good one.

Interesting. I'm giving this a listen through headphones on Bandcamp now. I do not have any early Ghost Trance Music, and I see this has Kevin Norton on drums, whom I only know from the CIMP and Leo standards albums.

OK, not as compelling as later Accelerated GTM (e.g. 9 Compositions (Iridium) 2006).

Now listening to:

Anthony Braxton Dortmund (Quartet) 1976

[mikeweil]

In the car while doing shopping:

Laurindo Almeida, Dance the Bossa Nova (compilation from his Capitol LPs)

Last stop was the post office to pick this one up:

Bought it for Rhyne in the first place, but Asche is a very fine guitarist. Bobby Broom wrote him a page of liner notes full of praise, and rightly so. An excellent album, recommended.

Funny, but valuable, how tastes differ. I never get on with the later GTM despite trying a number of recordings,including Iridium. The Istanbul is the only one I've kept. It's the only phase of Braxton's career that left me behind. My loss, I'm sure

I was pleased when he moved onto EEMH and now Zim

on a completely different tack...

Ben Webster The Holland Sessions (Blue Note, EMI Holland)

[ejp626]

Checking out some of the albums on the Inner Circle label.  Most, though not all, can be streamed through Apple Music.

Right now, Pasos by Maikel Vistel.  (Requires a second listen when I can pay more attention.)

Later this aft, The Lucid Dreamer by Simona Premazzi.  Greg Osby's on a couple of tracks, and Melissa Aldana (a bit of an Osby protege) is on 5.
